Studying Law at Leeds Beckett

Pursuing a law degree at Leeds Beckett represents not just a continuation of my academic ambitions but also a form of empowerment. In spite of the obstacles I have faced on my journey to university, my passion for law and my desire to advocate for those who lack a voice have driven me forward.

Leeds Beckett stood out to me for its commitment to providing students with practical, real-world experience and its emphasis on social justice and community involvement values that resonate deeply with my own aspirations. It has long been my dream to become a legal advisor and advocate for the vulnerable. I believe that studying law will equip me with the knowledge and skills to provide critical counsel to NGOs, government organizations, and other entities dedicated to protecting those in need.

How will the Halifax Law Society Scholarship help you and your studies?

Given my level of motivation, the funds from the Halifax Law Society Scholarship would help me to focus on projects that address injustices faced by underprivileged communities, particularly in areas such as employment law, human rights, and access to justice. Specifically, I would use the financial support to attend legal conferences, workshops, and seminars that will deepen my understanding of these issues and allow me to network with professionals in the field.

This exposure would help me gain insights into how law can be used as a tool for social change. Additionally, I would invest in resources such as legal research materials and technology to enhance my studies and ensure that I stay up to date with current legal developments.
